*1st. Trust Christ’s FINISHED WORK alone?* WHO his own self *bare our sins in his own body on the tree*, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes *ye were healed*. _I Peter 2:24._ *2nd. Did you SURRENDER all to God? God is demanding this.* MY son give me thine *heart*. _Proverbs 23:26._ *3rd. Did you CONFESS CHRIST publicly?* WHOSOEVER therefore shall *confess me before men*, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall *deny me* before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. _Matthew 10:32-33._ *4th. Did you PRAY constantly?* PRAY *without ceasing*. _I Thessalonians 5:17._ *5th. Did you faithfully STUDY YOUR BIBLE? Have you read it today?* AS newborn babes, *desire* the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. _I Peter 2:2._ *6th. Did you shun EVIL COMPANIONS?* BLESSED is the man that *walketh not in the council of the ungodly*, nor *standeth* in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. _Psalm 1:1._ *7th. Did you GO TO WORK for Christ?* AND to *every man his work*. _Mark 13:34._ Excuses. *Can’t HOLD OUT! God’s KEEPING power.* Of course you cannot in your own strength. But He is mighty to save. Put your trust for pardon in the finished work of Christ and let Him come into your life. WHO are *kept by the power of God through faith* unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. _I Peter 1:5._ BUT the Lord is faithful, who shall *stablish you, and keep you from evil*. _II Thessalonians 3:3._ NOW unto him that is *able to keep you from falling* (R.V. from stumbling), and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. _Jude 1:24._ BEING confident of this very thing, that *he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it* until the day of Jesus Christ. _Philippians 1:6._ FEAR thou not; for *I am with thee*: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: *I will strenghten* thee; yea I will help thee; yea *I will uphold thee* with the *right hand* of my *righteousness*. For I the Lord thy *God* will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, *Fear not; I will help thee*. _Isaiah 41:10,13._ When you are tempted remember that Christ has promised to deliver you.
